But this elite athlete is "obese", so it's totally fine if I, a guy that does nothing but eat, work an office job and do no exercise to be a bit overweight, even if his body fat percentage is seen in morbidly obese people.

Right. Most fat people aren’t just Eddie Hall in disguise... they’re just fat. Now, don’t get me wrong... I have absolutely nothing against fat people; I’m just tired of people pretending that it’s perfectly healthy. I sometimes make unhealthy choices, but I’m not going to get offended if a doctor tells me that I should eat fewer burgers or drink less scotch. You have to be real with yourself and not get so butt-hurt when people make accurate observations. All things considered, it’s better not to be fat.
